Nights Away

At the end of the night after lots of wine and food:) This was take #3 with the self-timer on the camera!

On Friday I went to my annual girls' Christmas party and stayed out for the evening! I missed Chase terribly and woke up a few times during the night, but it was nice to get together with the girls. Although some of the faces have changed, a few of us have managed to get together for the past 7 or 8? years. I have to look back at old pics for the exact date:) Daddy and Chase had a nice boys night and I got to bring home a boatload of cookies from our swap.

Then on Sunday Chase and I got to stay in a hotel!! The gas and electric company was doing planned outages and there was no way we were going to spend a cold night in the dark. Jas came to help us get settled in, but then ended up coming back to the house to stay with Summer. Luckily since Jas spent roughly 211 days during 2009(crazy right?) in a Marriott he is a platinum elite member, and we could use some points and stay in a little suite at a brand new Residence Inn. Chase ended up doing great, but couldn't fall asleep because there was so much to look at. I'm pretty sure we paced and dance for about an hour and a half! I've learned you have to be super organized to spend the night somewhere with a baby, but juggling getting ready for work not in the comforts of your home is even more of a challenge.

Lots of stuff for just one night!

Looking all around, so many colors
